A Classic Summer Spritz

Happy Friday!

By now you may know that I love a theme. On Wednesday I shared an Epic Lobster Roll to kick off Summer which starts Sunday. So I thought what about a perfect Summer cocktail? I decided to go with an absolute classic. It’s chic, very easy, and perfect for sipping on these hot days!

Aperol is an Italian drink (which is why Prosecco is used) introduced in 1919 and is made of gentian, rhubarb, and cinchona, along with some other things.

what you do:

All you do if fill a wine glass with ice, add all ingredients, stir well, and garnish with orange wheel and fresh rosemary!

Enjoy this first summer weekend and Happy fathers Day to all the Dads!

Strawberry Citrus Champagne Punch

Happy Mother’s Day Weekend to all the Mama’s out there!

I have the perfect recipe for Mother’s Day brunch or even for patio sipping…

I chose a champagne recipe for today because not only is it my fabulous Godmom/Aunt Mia’s birthday it is also our sweet Husky Perla Blue’s 6th birthday! It surly is a day to celebrate in our house, so bubbly it is!

what you do:

Make a simple syrup with the water and sugar (or buy your own for a quicker recipe). Add everything to a pitcher but only add champagne when you are ready to serve.

Thank you for tuning in during Cocktail Week on Fast Fashionista! I had a blast making all of these drinks to share with you.

Have a wonderful weekend!

A Classic Dark Rum Mojito

Welcome to Thirsty Thursday on Fast Fashionista!

Cocktail Week continues with a Classic Dark Rum Mojito. This is an easy one to make and great for when you’re craving something refreshing!

what you do:

Add sugar and and squeeze four lime wedges to your glass and muddle. Take your mint leaves in your hand and smack them a few times (this is an old bar tending trick I learned. That way you bring out the fragrance but don’t damage the leaves. You don’t want to be drinking tiny bits of mint.) I always rub the leaves over the rim of the glass, too. Add in your rum, fill with ice, and top with club soda. That’s it! You’re done!

I don’t know about you but i’m ready for Friday!

Enjoy your day!
